A forensic pathologist said yesterday that authorities “rushed to judgment” when they ruled that a woman found hanged in a Southern California mansion had committed suicide, ABC News reported.

Rebecca Zahau’s naked body was found in Jonah Shacknai’s home in Coronado on July 13 with her hands and feet bound. Her death was labeled “unusual” by police, but investigators ruled she had committed suicide — despite her family members’ strong belief that foul play was involved.

Dr. Phil McGraw will air the results of the autopsy on his daytime talk show next month.

Zahau’s body has been exhumed amidst concerns about the manner of her death and will be examined by Dr. Cyril Wecht.

“The first autopsy was quite thorough. I have not criticized the autopsy, I have raised questions with the haste with which they rushed to judgment regarding the manner of death,” Wecht told ABC.

The findings of the independent autopsy should be ready in one or two weeks, Wecht said.

Despite already closing the case, San Diego police said this week they would be willing to reopen the investigation if credible new evidence was found.
